Cornas La Louvée The She-Wolf Organic 2017

Jean-Luc Colombo has forged an international reputation as one of the most visionary and imaginative winemakers in France’s Rhône Valley and especially in Cornas. “La Louvée (The She-Wolf) is a vineyard planted of very old Syrah vines - up to 70 years old, protected by a forest of cedar and live oak trees. The parcel is located in the heart of the Cornas granitic slope and benefits from a south-east facing exposure. After aging for two years in oak barrels, La Louvée evolves as a delicate and elegant wine with aromas of raspberry, blueberry, violets and chocolate, ginger-bread notes ending by a distinct minerality. A concentrated wine which will age for up to 20 years or more and that I love to match with a pot roasted pheasant or pigeon. Certified Organic. 100% Syrah.
